Probably not a fit

Patients with significant medical histories or conditions affecting the liver, kidneys, or other major systems may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HGR4113 after single and multiple oral doses in healthy subjects. It employs a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, where participants are assigned to receive either the active drug or a placebo. The study will escalate doses based on safety data collected during the trial, with assessments including vital signs and ECGs to monitor health outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a better understanding of HGR4113's effects, potentially paving the way for new treatments for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is common in early-phase trials, the specific drug HGR4113 has not been previously tested in this manner.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Significant history or clinical manifestation of any hepatic, kidney, neurological, immune, respiratory, endocrine, hematological, neoplastic, or cardiovascular disease, or psychiatric disorder (e.g., mood disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder).
2. History of stomach or intestinal disorders (e.g., Chron's disease, ulcer) or surgeries - not including appendectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, or herniotomy - which may affect the safety or pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic evaluation of the investigational product.

4. One or more of the following laboratory test results at Screening:

   * ANC \< 1000

   * Fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL or HbA1c ≥ 6.5% despite two retests
   * eGFR \< 60 (CKD-EPI).
5. Systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg or \> 150 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure \< 60 mgHg or \> 100 mmHg as determined by vital signs monitored after resting in sitting position for at least 3 minutes.
6. History of drug/chemical abuse or tested positive in urine drug screen.
7. Used or intend to use any prescription medications/products or phytotherapeutic/herbal/plant-derived preparations within 14 days prior to dosing, or any nonprescription medications/products (i.e., over-the-counter (OTC) drugs), health products, or vitamins within 7 days prior to dosing, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator.
8. Participation in any clinical study or bioequivalence study within 6 months prior to dosing.
9. Whole blood donation within 2 months prior to dosing, plasma/platelet donation within 1 month prior to dosing, or receipt of blood products within 1 month prior to dosing.
10. Alcohol consumption \> 21 units/week (1 unit = 10 g of pure alcohol) or unable to abstain from consuming alcohol 3 days prior to first dosing until the last pharmacokinetic blood sampling.
11. History of smoking within 90 days prior to dosing (however, participation is acceptable if the subject has quit at least 90 days prior to dosing) or unable to abstain from smoking 90 days prior to dosing until the last pharmacokinetic blood sampling.
12. Ingestion of grapefruit-containing foods or beverages 24 hours 3 days prior to dosing until the last pharmacokinetic blood sampling, or unable to abstain from ingesting such foods or beverages during the same period.
13. Unable to abstain from ingesting caffeine-containing foods or beverages (e.g., coffee, tea \[e.g., black tea, green tea\], soft drinks, coffee milk, energy drinks, sports drinks) 3 days prior to dosing until the last pharmacokinetic blood sampling.

    - Acceptable contraceptive methods include:
    * Use of an intrauterine device that has been proven highly effective
    * Male or female physical contraceptive used with chemical sterilization
    * Surgical sterilization of the subject or the subject's partner (e.g., vasectomy, hysterectomy, tubal ligation, salpingectomy).
16. Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, should not participate in in this study based on other reasons.
